Calm Before the Storm

Winter is coming. 

Twelve hours of winter crap.

Foodie Food:

I went to the store last night after Andrew went to class because I wanted to pick up a few things that I couldn't get at Aldi. I ended up finding these wonderful gems!

Already cubed tofu?!? Yes plesae! Honestly, the reason I bought them is because they were half off if I bought two of them. Being cubed already was just an added bonus! I ♥ tofu. Especially in stir fry. Yum!

I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys now about juicing. You ready? 

You all know I love it. You all know I love how I feel when I do it. I have felt amazing, I've been eating less, I've had less cravings... but I am starting to get tired of the consistency of the juice. I have no idea how people go 30, 60, 90, or MORE days of JUST JUICE. It would kill me. I've cut back to 2-3 juices a day and will probably continue to do that from now on. I told Andrew I might even cut back to a couple of times a week in the future. I'm not completely burnt out, I'm just wanting to incorporate it more into my daily nutrition in a more appealing way. I have two planned for today and Andrew has two as well. I made up quite a few last night. 

Since I have a TON of green apples (for juice) I decided to use them for something else. Not all of them mind you, just six of them. 

I made apple crisp! The topping has oatmeal in it and it is yummy. I had a tiny little bit this morning to try it since it wasn't done until almost 11:00 last night and I wasn't going to eat that right before bed. The entire apartment smelled amazing while it was cooking. I love that cinnamon apple smell. I wish you could smell it through the computer.

Today's Menu:

B: Asiago Bagel with smoked salmon, coffee, a couple bites of apple crisp

S: Nada, big breakfast!

L: Tuna made with hummus, pickles, cucumber, celery, kosher salt on saltine crackers, green apple juice

S: Clementines, little green juice

D: TBD

I'm not sure what I'm doing for dinner tonight. Since I had salmon for breakfast and am having tuna for lunch I don't really want fish for dinner! I might make up some of the tofu with some leftover rice. 

I did not end up doing my workout DVD last night because after getting home from the store and making up juice for the next couple of days I got a random bug up my ass and all I wanted to do was clean. Clean everything. I moved stuff off the kitchen counters and scrubbed them, I scrubbed the sink, the stove, then I went into the bathroom and scrubbed those counters, the sink, the mirror, the toilet.... then I vacuumed.... then I  made up my lunch for today... then I decided to make apple crisp... by the time I got ready for bed I was a hot, sweaty mess. I got a good workout from deep cleaning!
